Kroger To Launch Apeel Avocados That Last Twice As Long

Published

Fruits and vegetables are already pretty fantastic (says every parent), but that they come in their own natural packaging is one of the great wonders of nature.

And now, it just got a little better.

Kroger will begin selling avocados, limes, and asparagus treated with a plant-based solution that helps slow down decay. The solution is called APEEL, and before conspiracy theorists come up with a convoluted theory about the government brainwashing us with crop-dusting, the innovative coating is a colorless, odorless powder mixed with water and then sprayed. When brushed or otherwise applied to lock in moisture and block oxygen, produce is said to last at least twice as long as regular avocados.
